NFL Mock Draft 2016: Week 14 edition
By Staff
27. Green Bay Packers
The Packers have some needs on the defensive side of the ball, but general manager Ted Thompson might be looking to fill the one clear need on the offensive side. Green Bay has plenty of talent on the outside and in the slot, but tight end has been an issue for it since Jermichael Finley was forced to retire because of health concerns. Richard Rodgers is currently the top tight end on the depth chart but should really be a second option at the position. With all that said, Ingram would be a great addition if he falls to the Packers at this spot.
Green Bay is completely centered around quarterback Aaron Rodgers and for good reason. To win in this league, you need a top man at that position, so why not surround him with as much talent as humanly possible? The Packers have a good defense that can be addressed in the later rounds, so Ingram would be a solid choice. He’s a big body with good hands, and a player who can run extremely well for his size. When you play in the cold weather of Green Bay, it is important to have a nice option that isn’t so far down the field.
